Dave Rat took some time from his as-usual busy schedule at the recent Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA, to put on Google Glass and provide a fun (and instructive) behind-the-scenes tour of the sound systems for the six stages provided by the team at Rat Sound.

Coachella continues its status as one of the largest, most famous, and most profitable music festivals in the U.S. The 2014 festival featured 184 artists, with Muse headlining the Saturday shows and Arcade Fire closing out Sunday nights. General admission tickets were reportedly sold out in less than 20 minutes.

Coachella was founded by Paul Tollett in 1999 and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Live. Rat Sound has been providing systems, sound design, and support for the festival for 14 years.

Anyway, enjoy Dave’s Google Glass take on 2014 Coachella as only “El Raton” can do it.
